Type(s) Passive (Type B) Game(s) Heroes

Crusader's Ward (Japanese: 聖騎士の加護 Holy Knight's Divine Protection) is a passive type B skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; unlike most passive skills in Heroes, Crusader's Ward comes in only one tier. If a unit with Crusader's Ward is facing a unit who is two tiles away, and receives consecutive hits, this skill reduces damage received from the second hit onwards by 80%, essentially functioning as a combination of Deflect Magic 3 and Deflect Missile 3.

Crusader's Ward cannot be passed to other units through skill inheritance; as a result, it can only be used by Sigurd.
